The big difference for me is £10 a month. The atrix is definitely worth a go if you don't want to pay much a month. Sure most people will go for the more fashionable iphone 4 but the atrix is very good for £20 a month contract.
you can jailbreak the iphone but also android have a a jailbreak, snapsapps i prefer atrix su much better than iphone it is designed to hear music just for that atrix well its a computer!
Ive had both phones side by side and my take is the iPhone is the more stable phone with the Atrix having the ability to customize. But you can jailbreak the iPhone to customize but nothing can be done to the Atrix for stability.
@Srkapu i really hope you are joking xD ive had an ipod touch an iphone 3g and and iphone 4 all of which gave me HUGE problems, apple fucking sucksssss
@Srkapu o.o how come a lot of people who takes my cab keep telling me about their iphone problems and that they have to bring it to warranty centres for replacement etc etc? o.o
Congratulations, you've successfully compared two phones that came out about 8 months apart. Will you be doing an Atrix 4G to iPhone 5 review as well, or would you like to compare the first generation iPhone to a Motorola Razor?
@codyhill06 I found it helpful. It gives me a comparison of what I have right now to what I have been looking at getting. The next iteration of the iPhone will have the same size screen (rumor says a bump in size, maybe), but the phone itself will still generally be the same. Rumors and speculation aside, comparing these two phones can pinpoint the faults in both, and this is helpful when I know what I have, and know what I might not get in the Atrix.
@jmock78 If you're basing your decision from rumors, you're messing up. Keep in mind the iPhone 4 has a higher resolution, giving the phone a higher quality picture. I am assuming the new iPhone will have the same Retina display with a bigger screen size. Also, the new iOS5 is quite the upgrade from the iOS4.
@arununplugged and you will be bored with the iphone my friend. android is so much better because you can add widgets to your home screen and hold the phone the way you want without steve jobs telling you to ;)
Its possible the internet speeds were biased in this video.Often home routers set device priority. The prioritized device device will get higher speeds.
Just bought my atrix yesterday and sold my iphone 4. Best mobile decision ever. I had Jailbroken and tweaked my iphone as far as it could go but it still couldn't match up to android. I literally just got done rooting and installing gingerblur...Why in the hell did the phone not come like this out of the box?!?
I've had my Atrix for about two months now and so far absolutely no complaints. I swtiched from an iPhone 4 and I can say I do not miss the iPhone. So far the battery life has been similar.
The atrix is one of the glitchiest phones I've ever used in my life. Its not as smooth a the iPhone in things like scrolling and pinch to zoom. The atrix is made of plastic and the iPhone is made of hard glass. The iPhone just looks badass and wins the battle before you even turn it on.
@elminsster80 actually ive had bothe the iphone is weaker and slower my iphone glas broke in my bag from a plastic bike pedal and the reason the atrix is goin slower is ppl forget to turn off there apps still going for all u kno this guys could have 20 goin and the iphone has none which one do u think will b faster but eraase all those apps on the task killer and this is way faster and i had my iphone stolen it is so easy to break into an iphone they even have videos on it u cn cheat a fingerint
The problem is the newer iphones look like all the others iphones maybe a bit different but still the same. plus they make loads of money from bringing a new one out every year or so with only a few tweaks or upgrades. The same can be said about androids no real difference in shape just a big screen only the home menus and user interface is diffrent. That said i would still pick this phone because its awsome
i have an atrix and it is amazing it is so much faster than the i phone i know the specs but specs can be wrong and the atrix has extreme battery life and i think the only thing the iphone has on the atrix is nothing.
I got an Atrix 4G instead of an Iphone 4 and this is what happened. First I loved the customization (especially the Live Wallpapers- nice!) and the ability to add more memory and pull out/exchange the battery. I didn't like the small dinky generic looking app Icons or the Large plain looking tool Icons. I didn't like the feel of it as well- my iPhone 3 was smoother. I hated the App market. And the last straw was the lower quality pics/ camcorder (720p my ass). I returned it and got an iPhone 4.
I've had some bad experiences with android phones... They seem to work well at first, but after a couple months later they start freezing acting up...so I went with the Iphone 4...Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!
@InDiYeaHh u can get free apps on any androind what u do is download the app scan life and go to applanet.com then they have that weird lil square barcode u cscan it it downloads and u use that instead of the app market easy as pie
atrix is almost there, in a couple years droids will look almost as good as the iphone 4, the bad news is that in 2 years the iphone 4 will be a POS because iphone 6-7 will be out
I love the droid OS but the phones? daym.... get a facelift, hire some fresh talent for fuck's sakes..
@mcComBat You know, these are really useful. Personally, I own an Iphone 3gs and I am currently interested in switching over to the Android platform and one of the phones I am interested in is the Atrix. Videos like this pull the stress off the consumer when they are going to purchase something or switch to something different.
If only you har compare two phone of the same caliber....
iphone 4.......what the....
This review should compare the atrix agianst htc desire hd !!!!
I tried the flixter test at the same time as in the video and my desire hd is way faster then the iphone........not surprised at all.......and about as fast if not more then the atrix.
For the guys said Atrix it's better ok try to root it and you will come to know which one it's better! Still iPhone 4 and nexus s the best with single core.
I had the iphone 4 and i always said i would never switch to android but when i saw the atrix i fell in love with it... its faster and has a bigger screen i really love it and im sadto say that itrs better than the iphone
@Deenice14 you are crazy!! see the smoothness of the iphone, nothing to do with the smoothness of the atrix, the iphone is much better... I don't understand... don't get surprised with the atrix's widgets that the only thing that they do is lose RAM. unnecessary...
This isn't pro Android or pro iPhone; but doing tests on opening apps not matter if its iOS, Android, Windows Phone or Blackberry is the dumbest test a review can do! Please realize that animations are a part of the operating systems and don't judge the speed of the phone! smh
if anyone cares..when running the same aps the atrix like any other android phone is not nearly as smooth as the iphone the atrix chops up when scrolling through the app pages I personally dont understand it because as far as specs the atrix blows it away but if your liek me and you love the fluid movement when scrolling and the choppy draggin when swiping through pages or aps annoys the hell out of you the atrix does
That's because when you scroll with the iPhone, it stops refreshing and updating the screen. The Atrix and any other Android phone continues to update and refresh the screen as you scroll.
I think they are a tie, the Atrix clearly wins in some areas and the iphone clearly wins in others.
I have an iphone 4 but Im totally committed to getting an Android tablet and quite possible an Android phone to run along side my iphone 4 to see if Im ready to make a switch.
@KlFvT but what ppl forget is u have to manualy close the apps just because u go back to the home screen doesnt mean there closed for all u kno he could have had 20 apps running on the atrix while the iphone had none
To me, all of these Android vs. iPhone 4 comparisions is always a win for Android. There's not much difference between them except the UI. So when you get HTC you get Sense, Motorola Motoblur, Samsung TouchWiz and so on. But when I had a HTC Desire I used LauncherPro and made the phone as customizeable as possible without making it ugly.
You can't compare the stock apps because they have different animations, you have to compare 3rd party apps, but other then that you're doing a great job so far craig.
Atrix is super awesome and obviously to have a fair comparison, we have to wait till iphone 5 comes out. But yes, there is no way iphone matches up to the atrix.
@MegaMnguyen Yeah but I don't think the android os is optimized for dual cores yet, saying that it's still a bad ass phone but I'll wait until HTC releases a dual core phone. I would like to see this phone overclocked.
Atrix with CM9 will stomp icrap 4 to pieces!
